Are You Talented?
Gospel Teams Are
Being Organized
BY NAOMI SEIM
Do you play the piano ? Can you
give a speech, sing a song or drive
a car ? If you do Roger Sogge,
senior, is looking for you!
He is responsible for the Or-ganization
of gospel teams on the
Augie campus. These teams are
voluntary groups of students who
go out on Sunday evening and
present League programs in
churches within a radius of one
hundred miles.
Completely under student man-agement,
this work gives the
student an opportunity to prove
and practice his abilities. It also
gives Augustana a chance to prove
itself to those who support it and
it advertises to and encourages
prospective students to make Au-gie
their college choice.
An offering is taken at each
meeting. After paying 5, cents per
miled to the driver, the remainder
is placed in a fund which is used
for some worthwhile purpose.
Why not see Roger Sogge now!
